Chapter 1 Part 1: To Be A Hunter
"Do you want fries with that?"
"Don't fries come with the number two here?"
"Oh, I wasn't aware. I'll get your fries."
Wow, she actually fell for that, the girl in the black leather thought. She scratched at her beanie covered forehead and grabbed her large pink lemonade. As she slurped, her eyes scanned her surroundings.
All looked blissfully normal, but she knew that something not human was lurking within the walls, just waiting for its chance to strike.
She had been tracking a Vampire for days now. She had killed off his entire nest one by one and he was the only one left. No doubt waiting to take his chance to put her in a coffin. Not the kind in the movies either.
He had tried to lose her by moving erratically, but the trail of bodies was a giant red flag. She found one just outside this fast food joint. All the other bodies had been found and reported to the police, but this latest one was fresh and undiscovered. He was only nineteen and had his whole life ahead of him…all to crescendo to a grisly, bloody end by Vampire.
Movement. A young man wearing a simple black t-shirt and ripped jeans got up from his table. The woman he was sitting with looked over at him with fierce attraction in her aqua eyes.
He had seduced her. Classic; lure in young girls with the promise of never ending life with her sexy vampire boyfriend. Until they sneak out the back and he drains her dry and she's just another corpse.
She grabbed his forearm and he gracefully lifted her up until they could see eye to eye. He leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
She chuckled in delight and pulled him close. He moved his hands down from her shoulders onto her hands and grabbed them. Soon enough they were slowly approaching the exit, all normal like. He held the door open for her; a slight breeze ruffled her jacket.
The girl in the black leather stood up slowly, still clutching her lemonade. Her hand moved down her thigh until it reached her innocent looking side backpack. She dug around for a minute until she felt the item she wanted. Its cold embrace sent shivers down her spine.
Hand still in backpack, she moved toward the door. The food she had been waiting for still had not come yet. Thank god for slow service. I haven't eaten since yesterday morning.
She pushed open the door and stepped out into the brisk night air. She looked to the left and saw the vampire and his prey moving off to, what she assumed, was the girl's car. She dug around awkwardly for her keys. When she finally had them she clumsily unlocked the car and the vampire gestured to it.
She blushed and slid into the passenger's seat. The bloodsucker shut her door and climbed in the opposite end.
And that was when the girl in black leather wanted to cover her eyes. They embraced. She quietly and swiftly pulled out her weapon of choice; a machete. All good Hunters knew the machete was the best weapon to use when dealing with vampires.
Moving to the driver's side of the car, she clutched her weapon and waited.
Sure enough, the women pushed at him and told him off, but she was no match for his monstrous strength. The girl only leapt into action once the screaming started.
Her hand was at the car door handle in half a second. She yanked it open and pulled at the vampire's burly shoulder. He reared back and hissed violently at her. She leaned back just as his head came up to bite her.
She hastily pulled him away from his would be victim and pushed him against the seat. Before he could retaliate and bite her restricting arm she let the machete fly.
The women the vampire had accosted shrieked. Her wail was so full of pure innocence that it hurt the girl's heart. The poor soul just witnessed the killing of a supernatural being. She would probably not retain her innocence.
"T-thank you! He seemed s-so nice…what was he?" She asked, still quivering in fear.
"You mean he didn't tell you? Didn't promise forever lasting life with him and his sexy personality? Bit out of the status quo…"
"No! He j-just said he was someone like no other. Someone I'd never forget."
"Oh! Well…he only said that because he was a Vampire." The girl in leather replied.
"Um…that would explain the fangs…" She added reluctantly. The girl in black leather smiled.
"We have a funny one! Normally when people find out that that Vampires are real they go crying to momma. But nevertheless, you're welcome! I'll be off now; more spooky things to kill." But before she could get up and exit the car, the women stopped her.
"Wait! I don't even know your name!"
The girl in the black leather and beanie smiled.
"Locklin. Eden Locklin."
"Oh! Thank you Locklin!"
"No, my first name is Eden but I put my last name first to reference-oh never mind. Chow!"
And with that, Eden stumbled out of the car and picked up her backpack from the asphalt. She slung it over her should and walked back into the bustling fast food joint.
She looked over to her table and the short lady that served her was bringing her food.
Wow. That's not just slow service, that's highway robbery.
"Your one burger, chocolate shake, and fries miss."
She set the food down and the girl thanked her for it.
"Oh, uh, miss? You have something on your face…" The girl franticly grabbed a napkin and wiped it away.
"Huh. Must have been ketchup or something."
